The roles of herpes simplex virus in neuroscience

Abstract: Herpes simplex virus (HSV) has been a focus of research in many laboratories during the last 30 ± 35 years, with the majority centered on the virus' replication, molecular biology and pathogenesis. Recently, HSV has begun to receive considerable attention in the field of neuroscience, where scientists have begun to use the virus as a tool or model for several areas of investigation. These areas include the construction and development of HSV-based vectors for gene therapy and the use of HSV as a neuronal trace… Show more

“…However, glial responses to HSV-1 infection may affect normal axonal myelination in vivo [2], and hence negatively influence action potential propagation in chronically infected neural systems. This could help explain previous reports of demyelination of CNS axons after herpes infection [31].…”

“…The method is based upon the ability of viruses to invade neurons and produce infectious progeny that pass transneuronally at synapses to infect synaptically connected neurons. With increasing survival, the infection moves through neural networks, marking each neuron with distinctive viral or reporter proteins and thereby providing an effective means of defining the synaptic organization of functionally defined circuitry (Card and Enquist 2012; Ekstrand et al 2008; Enquist et al 2002; Loewy 1995; Kelly and Strick 2000; Card and Enquist 1994; Kuypers and Ugolini 1990; Kristensson et al 1982; Turner and Jenkins 1997; Geerling et al 2006). …”

“…If so, stress-mediated HCMV reactivation follows a mechanism very similar to that known for ·-herpesviruses (HSV1 and 2, varicella-zoster virus) [for reviews, see ref. 46,47]. Interestingly, intraoperative hypothermia during liver transplantation was found to increase the risk of HCMV infection [48], and as is known, hypothermia is an event which induces stress hormones.…”
